Elections & Midterms

Stories about campaigns, candidates, primaries, polling, ballots and the people who run elections. That includes redistricting, voting rules, campaign money and results.

Each pair here puts one headline from each side next to each other, so you can compare how the same election news is presented before you decide what it means.
